'Don't say gay' in FL now in effect

The measure has already had a chilling effect on public school educators, who in some cases have been instructed to remove LGBTQ+ Pride flags and photographs of same-sex partners from their classrooms to avoid violating the law.

Republican lawmakers have from the start argued that the measure’s only intent is to empower parents. Democrats and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups say the now-law is intentionally vague and represents a huge step backward for equality.

A number of teachers have already approached the FEA about a series of trainings that have taken place in some school districts. During those trainings, teachers said, they were instructed to remove LGBTQ+ Pride flags, safe space stickers and photos of same-sex partners from their classrooms in the lead-up to Friday.

Because of we refuse to teach "gay", kids'll never learn it on their own...

@canusernamebemyusername The thing is, it's likely to be either him or Trump as the 2024 nominee.. who would you pick if you had to?

@SW-User If I had to choose I'd sadly have to go with Trump. Cause at least he is stupid. And old enough that he would probably stroke out.
DeSantis is too evil AND intelligent AND young. He is the bigger threat.

@canusernamebemyusername Hmm I'm surprised. The one slight burnishment to DeSantis's credentials seems to be his environmental record. As a concerned activist I would take that.. but I respect your decision.

@SW-User The "concerned activist" has allowed the ongoing exploitation of natural aquifers and other resources for big water, big sugar and development. Every year, we lose the gulf to red tide, a direct result of chemical and pesticide runoff. Our aquifers are the sole source of water for this state and they are being bled dry through Nestle and other large corporations with contracts that allow them to do so.

It's difficult to describe a state that was sold for development three and four generations back. This has been the business interest of the wealthy and corporate since its inception. What this means is that the people have lost almost all control or say over development and the result is the barren wasteland that's being created at light speed. Anything DeSantis is doing is for the public eye and token at best.
